Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who is on a two-day visit to Hyderabad, met the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N Chandrababu Naidu in Hyderbad on Saturday tonight and discussed various political issues.

"I have discussed political issues with Chandrababu Naidu and the possibility of forming a third alternative," Akhilesh said after the meeting at the TDP chief's residence.

He hailed the TDP's decision to allocate 100 seats to the backward classes and announce the candidates well in advance.

"This will benefit the BCs well. In fact, we have done a similar thing in UP," he pointed out.

The UP administration was doing well, Akhilesh said in reply to a question.
